Not enough room in the title box for it not to sound too dodgy or weird.

As a business owner, I often find myself brainstorming ideas with my wife/friends/family or come on here and ask what are often noddy questions. Sometimes, it would be preferable that these questions are not viewable for ever more on the web. They are things that, if found by potential customers or competitors etc, they may well feel that I should already know.

To that end, I was wondering if there is a platform that allows groups of people to get a forum set up whereby membership has to be approved. Something really simple would be ideal. I was thinking of just using Google Drive for it but if lots of people were in the group and lots of topics were underway simultaneously, it might get a bit messy.

So thoughts?

LinkedIn can allow you to do this.
Worth thinking about, thanks! For some reason, I just don't like the LI layout/format but will fall back on it if required.
